About
Venetian Sun is a 3yo horse trained by K R Burke in Leyburn. He is by the stallion Starman out of the mare Johara. The horse has won 5 races to date. On 24 Aug 2025 at Deauville, Venetian Sun secured his biggest triumph, winning the $350000.00 Sumbe Prix Morny Stakes (Group 1). He has been a lucrative runner for punters, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 152% return on investment.
